Mars in Gemini | Ayurvedic Astrology For Mental Health

Episode Topics August 20, 2022 planet Mars enters Gemini Mars stays in Gemini until end of March 2023 This is a rare transit, last time a similar transit occurred was in 1991 Mars's transits tend to usually last about 6 weeks or so, not 7 months A 7-month transit makes Mars a slow planet which goes against Mars's strong tendency for speed Mars is about action, if you are going to fail, fail fast Ayurvedically, Mars is associated with our physiological guts, our emotional guts and our mental guts. Ayurvedically, Gemini is a highly Vata sign associated with the realm of communication, travel and study If we are relatively balanced, this 7-month period can give us the courage to exercise a lot more of our creative expression and actually turn it into something tangible Think about doing anything and everything that you have been procrastinating on because you have the tendency to get in your own way If someone is not relatively balanced  it can lead to anxiety, impatience, anger, depression, since Vata is the fastest dosha to go out of balance How do we know if we are relatively balanced? According to Charaka (the original Ayurvedic physician),  health is known as happiness while disorder is unhappiness Are you happy at least 80% of the time?  Then you are healthy. If however, you are not happy at least 80% of the time, then the Rig Veda, a text that predates Ayurveda, says: One should eat nutritious food and exercise regularly to have sound health.
